No! The .tar.gz is not a .deb package, it does not contain a .deb package.

Optionally, copy somewhere you prefer in your Linux environment. > and also add it to my PATH? export PATH=/path/where/you/unpacked/cmaketarg/bin:$PATH Alternatively, iIf you stopped stubbornly trying the apt-get and if you tried my suggestion wget -O cmake-linux.sh https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.sh sudo sh cmake-linux.sh -- --skip-license --prefix=/usr/local you would get CMake installed in the standard prefix /usr/local with cmake executable deployed in /usr/local/bin/cmake and having /usr/local/bin typically in PATH you would get cmake in your PATH out of the box. Just forget about using apt-get with the downloaded .tar.gz, forget it! Or, learn about Debian packages, apt, etc. just not here!
